PRESENT DAY CAPITAL-VALLETTA
The dramatic outline of the city , with its superb bastion walls wrapped perceptively around it and its skyline of rectangular masses varied only by a cupola or a church spire, remains an impressive sight, whether viewed from the sliema side of Marsamxetto harbour or from the other side across the Grand Harbour. By night floodlit to perfection, it is a moving sight.
THE OLD CAPITAL

Mdina , also known as Citta Notabile, dates back to Roman times. It is a typical medieval town. Fotr its tranquility it is also known today as the "Silent City".
